My heart is beating hard and I can feel it against the skin of my chest
it seems to rise up into my throat and block off all air
I can't breathe and my face changes drastically into
a burning sensation
hands are shaking, feet are numb
my cheeks are clammy and warm
I want to die, or curl up and leave
this ugly place
I want to get out of my body and only take my thoughts with me
the good ones, obviously
I don't want to be connected to this body that betrays me
I'm coming down, and this is all it takes is
to miss
and this becomes my reality
